Abstract

PII proteins, found in Bacteria, Archaea and plants, help coordinate carbon and nitrogen assimilation by regulating the activity of signal transduction enzymes in response to diverse signals. Recent studies of bacterial PII proteins have revealed a solution to the signal transduction problem of how to coordinate multiple receptors in response to diverse stimuli yet permit selective control of these receptors under various conditions and allow adaptation of the system as a whole to long-term stimulation.
